Pressmart already supports all major eReader devices like Kindle, Sony, Nook and Cool-er.
Publishers will now be able to use Pressmart’s Software-as-a-Service platform to convert and distribute their print publications in an iPad ready format and Custom Branded Apps. It opens up Publishers to the massive content appetite that iPad will offer.
“With the iPad’s larger screen, the mobile consumption of news and general content through websites and Apps is expected to surge heavily. iPad is made primarily for content consumption and Publishers do not want to loose out on this opportunity.
